On airport pat-downs:

"The challenge is, how do we balance the security that everybody wants - everybody wants to make sure they get to their destination safely - with the privacy that everybody wants also. How do we find that precise blend for each person?" - TSA Chief John Pistole, CNN's "State of the Union"

On what the election results mean:

"I do think that many voters still remember being disappointed by Republican majorities. And I think this has not been a huge embrace of the Republican Party or the Republican brand. But it clearly was a repudiation of an agenda that's not working and agenda in which the government has overreached dramatically in many, many areas, and in which the spending has been wildly excessive." - Republican Sen.-elect Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, CNN's "State of the Union."

On Election Day predictions:

"If we get 39 seats and take the majority, that's success. If we get 37 seats, that's success. ... We have battled our way back here, so to have the kind of night that we're anticipating on Tuesday is not just a blessing, but it comes from the hard work of our candidates out there engaging with the people." - Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, CNN's "State of the Union"

On whether Republicans and Democrats can reach a compromise on the Bush tax cuts:

"There's a difference between compromise and cutting a deal. Compromise is a good thing. Cutting deals in Washington, there's too much of that. The bottom line is that any compromise that allows taxes - any compromise that does not extend the current tax code to everybody is a tax increase." - Florida Republican Senate candidate Marco Rubio, CNN's "State of the Union"

On hopes for bipartisanship in Washington:

"We're going to continue to reach out, and we're going to look for common ground and a way forward to solve the problems facing this country, and we're hoping that - the Republicans will have more seats in Congress regardless of whether they have control or not. We're hoping with that comes a greater sense of responsibility." - White House senior adviser David Axelrod, CNN's "State of the Union"

On the midterm elections:

"This is going to be a wave election, and it's going to be a referendum on the policies, the unpopular policies, coming out of Washington, D.C., during the last year and a half. ... I think we're going to have a good day on November 2, so I don't know how high or how wide that tsunami will be, but I think it will be significant." - Republican Sen. John Cornyn, CNN's "State of the Union"

"When I hear this 'tsunami,' the Republicans have been saying they're going to win the Triple Crown, which means the president's seat in Illinois that was vacated, the vice president's seat in Delaware, and the majority leader in Nevada. They're not going to win any of that Triple Crown. We will be in the majority in the United States Senate on November 3." - Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, "State of the Union"
